DOOR-SILL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 350,427, dated October 5, 1886.

Application filed March 25. 1886. Serial No. 196,458.

.act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification. The invention will first be described in connection with the drawings, and then clearly pointed out in the claims.

Figure 1 of the drawings is plan view of my improved door-sill in one piece, Fig. 2, a similar view showing thesame in two parts; Fig. 3, a longitudinal section on the line x :v of Fig. 1, and'Fig. 4 a cross-section on line 9 3 of Fig. 1. I

In the drawings, A represents the door-sill as an entirety, the same being provided with a longitudinal groove, a, for the reception of a strip of rubber on which the-bottom of door will press, so as to exclude cold winds or rain a a are projections which fit against the doorframe so as to make the sill secure in position.

ofiwater and prevent it from getting into the joints of the frame-work, the corners being also raised or elevated.

In Fig. 2 of the drawings I show my sill in two parts, connected together by a tongue-andgroove joint, so that it may be slightly adj ustable to suit the width of doorway.

These sills may be made of wood, metal, or any suitable material; but I preferably make them of iron or cutlery metal, concaved on the lower side, to give lightness and dispense with un necessary metal.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-

1. A door sill having on the outer part thereof the transverse bevel a and raised corners with diagonal bevelsa at, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A door sill made in two parts connected by a tongue-and-groove joint, as and for the 5 purpose specified.

3. A door-sill having the groove a, projections a, bevel a and diagonal inclines a ,'all constructed and arranged substantially as shown and described. 60

In testimony whereofI affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
